IntermezzoUsually a fan of fuller flavored cigars and not particularly fond of mild-medium ones. I picked up a box of these and they bridge the gap nicely. They are in my opinion medium in body with a very nice complexity of flavors. It takes the skills of a surgeon to remove the band without tearing the wrapper but that's common for a lot of Connecticut and Cameroon sticks.551

IntermezzoThis cigar is a 10 out of 10. The AVO XO is arguably the greatest of all of the AVO cigars. It's smooth creamy and so well balanced. Great morning noon and night.551

IntermezzoThis cigars room note and flavor is among my favorites. Imagine Baileys Irish Cream. Pairs so well with a coffee. A mild to medium cigar.
Unfortunately three out of the last five have had major draw issues to the point that I could not draw any smoke. Thus my scores for draw and consistency.351

IntermezzoLet's start off with in not a big of this brand of cigars.I went on a limb and bought a few of these cigars at a show and was completely reminded why I don't smoke these sticks.Over priced and weak on the goods.For the price of AVO cigars you could actually buy almost any other middle shelf brands that are way more flavorful.I smoked a few just to see if it was a bad stick but it was consistent throughout the few I smoked...consistently disappointing.Maybe that's why the changes their whole branding and cigar labeling I am sure I'm not the only one to have a great review it seems.But don't take my word for it you try them and judge for yourself351

IntermezzoIn my opinion one of the greats. Meduim bodied but full flavored. Absolutely delicious cigar. Creamy with a touch of leather and spice finish. My favorite for years now. Perfect after anything cigar. Sometimes the draw is a little light but not a problem for this gem. All the pros outweigh this almost insignificant con but i had to mention it after all it is a review. JR's got the best prices on these as far as I know. Thanks brothers!451

IntermezzoAs the other reviewers have said; if you like a medium stick these are undoubtedly one of the best on the market! Delicious and top quality construction with flavors bested only by the most delicious real Cubans; the XO in the intermezzo vitola are superb. Discovered these in Cigar Aficionado about seven years ago and to this day they’re still probably my favorite cigar.551
